| ? command-name ... |
| | Print help information. |
| ascii | Shorthand for "mode ascii" |
| binary | Shorthand for "mode binary" |
| connect host [port] |
| | Set the host (and optionally port) for transfers. Note that the TFTP protocol, unlike the FTP protocol, does not maintain connections between transfers; thus, the connect command does not actually create a connection, but merely remembers what host is to be used for transfers. You do not have to use the connect command; the remote host can be specified as part of the get or put commands. |
get[host:file [localname]]
get Xo |
| | [host1:file1] [host2:file2 ...] [hostN:fileN] |
| | Get one or more files from the remote host. When using the host argument, the host will be used as default host for future transfers. If localname is specified, the file is stored locally as localname, otherwise the original filename is used. Note that it is not possible to download two files at a time, only one, three, or more than three files, at a time. To specify an IPv6 numeric address for a host, wrap it using square brackets like "[3ffe:2900:e00c:ffee::1234]: file" to disambiguate the colons used in the IPv6 address from the colon separating the host and the filename. |
| mode transfer-mode |
| | Set the mode for transfers; transfer-mode may be one of ascii or binary. The default is ascii. |
put file [[host:remotename]]
put file1 file2 ... fileN [[host:remote-directory]] |
| | Put a file or set of files to the remote host. When remotename is specified, the file is stored remotely as remotename, otherwise the original filename is used. If the remote-directory argument is used, the remote host is assumed to be a Unix machine. To specify an IPv6 numeric address for a host, see the example under the get command. |
| quit | Exit tftp. An end of file also exits. |
| rexmt retransmission-timeout |
| | Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds. |
| status | Show current status. |
| timeout total-transmission-timeout |
| | Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds. |
| trace | Toggle packet tracing. |
| verbose |
| | Toggle verbose mode. |
